Break Every Chain

Break every chain

It's funny that for the first time at out new home of 1 1/2 years, I'm finally doing what I Invision myself doing almost ever night... I'm sitting on my patio, with a glass of wine, dim lighting, listening to the wind blowing through the branches, and I'm writing. Simple? Sure. But in the craziness of everything else - this is exactly where I want to be. I guess you could say that I'm content. I've learned to find joy in the little things - the simple, non materialistic parts of pure beauty. See, God doesn't want the fancy things we care about, like big TV's, the newest IPhone, or what haves we still can't get a grip on... He cares about our heart. Like God, I'm finally truly caring about my heart. As sad as that seems, it wasn't an easy task. I've always been unselfish to the point of losing myself and continuously needing someone to take care of. I was a codependent mess. If someone asked me what made me happy or what I wanted for Christmas even, I'd shrug my shoulder's. I was hiding beyond another person's shadows. And in all honesty, I wanted to shout NO so loudly. I wanted to take back my life and seek my purpose.
As I sit here in my happy place while the world sleeps, I'm at peace with myself and with my heart. I'm starting to heal past aches and understand the power in saying no, so I can say yes to what matters most to me.

Find moments to listen to God. And when you need prayer ask for it. I promise you'll feel your prayers being lifted and that my friends is a beautiful thing.
